Description

Simple, inexpensive, and hearty. My boyfriend and I love this different take on boring tomato soup. Best of all, it is very low in calories. Add shrimp for a protein boost.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, cut into chunks
  • 4 stalks celery, cut into chunks
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • ¼ cup tequila
  • 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Directions
  1. 1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add green bell pepper and jalapeno peppers to onion mixture; cook and stir until peppers are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2. Pour tequila into vegetable mixture and simmer until slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Add fired-roasted tomatoes, vegetable stock, crushed tomatoes, lime juice, salt, and pepper to vegetable-tequila mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have blended, about 20 minutes. Stir cilantro into soup just before serving.
